Functionalized styryl iridium(III) complexes as active second-order NLO chromophores and building blocks for SHG polymeric films
نویسندگان
چکیده
We studied the second-order NLO properties in solution of various Ir(III) acetylacetonate complexes bearing a substituted cyclometallated 4-styryl-2-phenylpyridine (ppy-4-styryl-R, with R = NEt2, OMe, H, NO2) with the EFISH technique. The dipole moments were evaluated by Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. We have also investigated the Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) of composite films based on the various cyclometallated Ir(III) complexes dispersed and oriented in a polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) matrix.

Unexpectedly high second-order nonlinear optical properties of simple Ru and Pt alkynyl complexes as an analytical springboard for NLO-active polymer films.
The unexpectedly high quadratic hyperpolarizability values of simple Ru and Pt alkynyl complexes have been measured by the EFISH technique, and this prompted us to investigate their potential as molecular building blocks for composite films with second harmonic generation properties.
متن کاملHighly stable 7-N,N-dibutylamino-2-azaphenanthrene and 8-N,N-dibutylamino-2-azachrysene as a new class of second order NLO-active chromophores.
7-N,N-Dibutylamino-2-azaphenanthrene (L(3)), 8-N,N-dibutylamino-2-azachrysene (L(4)) and related Ir(i) complexes or alkylated salts show high second-order NLO responses, as determined by the EFISH technique and DFT calculations. L(4) is appealing as building block for NLO active materials due to its unexpected large μβ(1.907)value and its very high thermal stability.
متن کاملSecond Harmonic Generation Diagnostic of Layer by Layer Deposition from Disperse Red 1–Functionalized Maleic Anhydride Copolymer
Layer-by-layer (LBL) electrostatic assembly of poly-electrolytes is proving to be an increasingly rich and versatile technique for the formation of multilayered thin films with a wide range of electrical, magnetic, and optical properties. In the present work we synthesized a new nonlinear optical (NLO) maleic acid copolymer containing Disperse Red 1 moieties, built-up multilayer assemblies by a...

Efficiently organizing molecular nonlinear optical (NLO) chromophores having large first-order hyperpolarizabilities (beta) into acentric microstructures for electro-optic (EO) applications represents a significant materials synthesis and processing challenge, in part due to interchromophore dipolar interactions that promote centrosymmetric organization. Here we report the computational modelin...

The collagenous capsule formed around an implant will ultimately determine the nature of its in vivo fate. To provide a better understanding of how surface modifications can alter the collagen orientation and composition in the fibrotic capsule, we used second harmonic generation (SHG) microscopy to evaluate collagen organization and structure generated in mice subcutaneously injected with chem...
